The Scots Hotel is an oasis within the dying city of Tiberias. It's located in the center, right near the famous promenade on the Sea of Galilee. Having its own big territory, yards, gardens and a swimming pool - it's perfectly isolated from the outside noise. Built on the western slope - it also offers a nice view of the Sea of Galilee.
It used to be a hospital a while ago, and some of the older building have been renovated from those times. The rooms are quite large and cosy, and the real treasure of the place is the restaurant which makes you wanting to stay there forever. It's basically a buffet, but presents a wide choice of rare delicacies. Make sure to save some room for the sweet things in the end of the meal...
Parking is available but involves certain navigation either inside the area or around it, depending on the available parking spots. The staff usually helps with that.

Amazing hotel, one of the best we've ever been to. Attentive service, beautifully furnished room and high quality food. Room had a Nespresso machine which was a nice surpirse. Close proximity to beach, ATM machine, taxi and some 24/7 markets. Though area is not nice to walk around as many businesses closed due to COVID. Hotel not suitable for small kids. Lots of stairs and large distances between buildings so also not wheelchair accesible. Otherwise, very pampered service. Spa experience was great with some speacialized area for downtime right after spa. It seems they really thought of everything. Including super comfortable queen size bed, scented linen - a sort of oasis. Gated private parking. Would go there again only would recommend not going in the summer months as the weather is too unhospitable outdoors. 40 degrees forced us to stay indoors all the time. We had the half board deal and the food is absolutely first class. The dining room is pacious but you still get a very intimate feeling as it consists of several connected rooms. Room was cleaned to our satisfaction. There is no real lobby to hang around and nothing else to do besides the pool (too hot) or the spa or go outside (too hot). No mall near by and only several tourist traps looking miserable.

We stayed at the hotel for two nights in the middle of last week. This is not our first time at this hotel, and each time again we are happy to return to it. What we especially like about the hotel is the high level of service, cleanliness, the feeling of peace and quiet (most of the guests are couples and not families with children) and the variety and taste of the food. We are already waiting for the next time at the hotel ...

We spent 2 nights here and truly enjoyed our stay. The buildings and grounds are beautiful, and the location is great. We found it very pleasant to relax in the garden after dinner.
The breakfasts and dinners were delicious, and the selection of dishes was varied. For me, it was a nice change to have non-kosher food. I was very impressed by the fact that all the dishes at dinner were completely different each evening. The steak fillet on the first evening was to die for, and the shrimps and calamari dish was my personal favorite on the second evening.
The staff was wonderful, and I'm happy to say that they were strict regarding COVID regulations.
I truly hope to return to this wonderful hotel in the future.

One of the most detailed focused and inspiring hotels I have ever stayed at including resorts. Having travel now on average 2-3 times a year from Barbados to Costa Rico, I will be returning to this city in Israel and staying in this hotel. It originally was a hospital and has interesting history.

An unusual stone hotel owned by the Church of Scotland. Plaid upholstery and scotch whiskey abound!
Fabulous buffet breakfasts & dinners! Pleasant service. Very pretty gardens.
Rooms felt a bit tired, outdated, dark and stuffy. Though bathrooms were well-outfitted they were small and probably 25 years old. No fluffy towels or kids here but there were lots of retiree travelers.

The Scots is a chic, well-run, boutique hotel on the Sea of Galilee. The rooms are very well appointed with terrific touches like filtered watered dispensers and Nespresso coffee units. The staff is genuinely nice, helpful and efficient and the place is spotless. The grounds are exquisite offering stunning views of the Sea of Galilee from the beautiful gardens and lovely pool area. The food at all meals is both plentiful and delicious with two excellent, earnest young sommeliers who want to introduce guests to Israel’s excellent wines. The one oddity - but seems common in Israel - the pool closes at 6:30 p.m. which is early for a resort hotel. Nonetheless, The Scots is a gem.

As you go out the back door of the lobby, the magic starts. You are greeted by open spaces, light stone walls, tasteful gardens, and sculptures. Our room has dual aspects so we can see the Tiberias hills and the town and a part of the Lake Galilee. Breakfast and dinner are always amazing given the generous choices accented by some Scottish delicacies. The only suggestion that I would like to make is to incorporate a ramp at the stairs leading to the accommodation buildings for the ease of guests.

The hotel is gorgeous - historical building beautifully renovated. From almost every corner there are amazing views of the sea of Galilee. The staff is very friendly and service oriented and is highly strict regarding COVID regulations (masks, "green passes" etc). The hotel is not Kosher which is highly uncommon in Israel but it also means that the buffet is excellent (seafood, desserts are not PARVE and there's decent coffee and freshly cooked food on Fridays and Saturdays). Also the cocktail bar is small, but they make really special cocktails. However, the place is not cheap and less suitable for children.

I'm bald so didn't use it!! But I did give it a go. It seemed decent power and heat but is fixed in the wall in the bathroom. If you need to be sure.... I'd take the one you know 😎
...hhm if i remember correctly they had a water heater, instant coffee and some tea bags in the room. Best would be to ask the hotel directly. Service levels have been great
